  • Abstract
    Performance of a 2 kW, 40 kHz, 270 V/500 V boost dc-dc power converter as a function of temperature is reported for the following power semiconductor device combinations: Si MOSFET and Si ultrafast diode, and SiC MOSFET and SiC Schottky diode. The test results clearly demonstrate the possibility of designing 200 degC power converters utilizing SiC power semiconductor devices
